Form 5695, Line 2b

If you are inside a clients return, on the left side of the page is a green box that says "Where do I enter". Type in "energy" and you will see Form 5695. If you click on it, the program takes you to the form.

I haven't looked at the form yet, but I believe you are correct that it is not finalized yet.

Hey --------- do you think we are the only ones that know about that green button? If so, should we tell anyone else?

I see the children have been out playing the negative point game again the last few days. Their mothers must have sent them to their room and now that have nothing else to do.

IRMN - I noticed that too. I can't imagine what they think they are accomplishing by doing it. I know I have better things to do with my time than handing out negatives.

Who ever is doing it has done it quite a bit this morning

Yes it is nonsense, just excited to get some more filing down. Historically this week has always been around 45 returns, have only done half that this week. Two biggest employers in the area haven't sent out W-2's. Will probably be crazy next week. I see even my answer was minused, somebody must have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed!

MtJ,
Have we ever figured out where to cash those dang things in yet?
Gosh Darn, my dropped too, I hope their not going to demote me now.
I was Soooo close to being the Bicentennial Man.
I was kinda hoping they would be good at the Cigar store, but they just looked at me funny and said NO.

They are supposed to have a certification from the manufacturer.
